Father Mckinney. In no part of Ire
land, said the Reverend gentleman in
the course of his speech, has landlord
tyranny and persecution been exercised
in more cruel manner than on his
estates. Mr.. Chilly, M. P, who attend
ed the meeting pointed out that Lord

evident that the plan of campaign was
necessary to make him hold his hand.
LOUTH.
The tenants on the Grangegeeth es-
tate of the Hon. B low Boyce settled
their November rents in Drogheda.
The landlord last November refused to
give any reduction on the judicial rents
fixed in 1884 or since, but offered Is per
cent. to the non-judicial tenants. The
tenants thereupon impounded their
rents, less 20 per cent. all around, and
put the plan in opertion. Nine writs
of eviction were served, and are at pres
ent to be seen hanging up at the police
barrack in Slane. The tenants settled
for 20 per cent. reduction on all rents
fixed before 1884, and Is per cent. on
those fixed since. AL writs to be with
drawn and costs paid by the landlord.
Great satisfaction prevails in the dis

livered an appropriate address. Mr..
Peter McDermott proposed a series OF
resolutions condemning coercion, SYM
pathizing with Fathers Keller and

the restoration If the Irish Legislature
can settle the Irish question.
TIPPERARY.
The tenants on Mr.. Tew's property
near Ballina, County Tipperary, have
succeeded by their union and resolution
in getting the full amount of their de-
mands. Those tenants were refused
the very moderate reduction of 20 per
cent. on the November rent, though
similar reduction was allowed to them
all, with one exception, on the previous
rent paid. Proceedings were immed~
lately taken against them and DEGREES
obtained. To these proceedings they
replied by adopting the plan of cam
paign, and pledging not to pay penny
until the reduction sought for would be
granted and all law costs wiped away;
and they furthermore promised to hold
out until the other tenant, A. Rohan,
would be allowed the reduction which
he was denied on the previous rent, as
on account of his prominence in reor-
ganizing the tenants the agent had
singled him out as an example. But
the agent has thrown up the sponge,
having conceded the tenants demand,
and they have all paid their rents. They
are proud of having adopted the plan,
and are glad over their triumph.
